The spirits lash out again, this time striking home.
Spirit attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
Spirit damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

The bebilith's attention was focused on him, so walling in Mykel was less urgent. Keep its attention off Yanda.

As Yanda's bombs explode, the wasted fire lingers. All at once, it rushes upwards to Onjatan's hand, to join with another flame that had appeared there. Then, together, the bolt of fire shoots downwards at the burning bebilith.

Move action to gather power.
Standard action to use Empowered Kinetic Bolt (fire) while fighting defensively.
This provokes, since it's a ranged attack. AC against the AoO is either 33 or 35, depending on whether kneeling helps (see question in discussion)

If bitten by the bebilith, use Resolve as an immediate action to roll the fortitude save twice

Ranged touch attack (haste, good hope, into melee, fighting defensively): 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 1 + 2 - 4 - 4 = 15
Fire damage (before empower): 4d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 4) + 3 = 13

Araga finishes burrowing through the walls and pops out under Onjatan's feet... back in olaggi territory, maybe, but right up next to the door.

She prepares to help Onjatan if he needs it.

Ready action to Aid Another on Onjatan's next save prompted by the bebilith (seems to maybe be possible, since you can "help someone affected by a spell")
1d20 ⇒ 11
Would successfully aid the save

He then sends his spirit totem to attack.

attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

odd question...for a readied attack action, i only get the one right? with my BaB and haste i'd normally get three swings...but only one now right with a readied? never though about it...

Mykel's spirits attack the spider. And finish it! Its body plummets into the darkness below. Only to reappear a few moments later, falling from above, repeatedly. As its corpse falls, the pathfinders notice a small lit up stone resting on its back.

Combat over! Pathfinders are victorious!

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's correct. As I recall, when you ready you have to ready a *standard* action.

Well in that case...

Working quickly, now that she's free of the tangling web, Araga unties the rope from Onjatan's belt. The rope currently stretched directly across the pit.

She manages it just before the bebilith starts its infinite freefall.

"I'll go get the thing on its back. But first, anyone have something free that would take care of those eels?"

Once the eels are taken care of, Yanda flies after it and lands on its back. She will use a dagger to pry it off she then fly back if all goes well.

If nobody has a free way of zapping the eels she will toss an acid flash at them.

Onjatan waits for the spider to fall past again, then reaches out with his geokinesis. If that was the missing rock, he should be able to grab it and save some time.

Araga unties the rope from Onjatan and fashions it into a climbing aid to help the others get across the pit.

Yanda tosses an acid flask at the eels, killing more of them, and enraging the others even further. They are effectively limitless. Think of them as sort of like a cross between a swarm (but without hp) and an environmental hazard. Then she flies down to retrieve the glowing stone from the back of the bebilith corpse. It is indeed the magically lit up stone that Onjatan had dropped into the pit some short moments ago. Hence why you didn't see it cycling through the pit. I ruled that when Onjatan dropped it, it landed on the Bebilith's back. It took all my will power not to write "Fool of a Took!" As she flies around doing all of this, the eels continue to nip at her.
eel dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 1 Converted to non-lethal by Ablative Barrier and then absorbed by temp hp
Yanda Fort: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26 +6 vs. poisons, +1 vs. acid and cold, lesser talisman of freedom, greater pentacle talisman (2nd save)

Onjatan uses his Geokinesis power to try to grab the stone but presumably Yanda does not yield her treasure... Things GMs entertain themselves with: contemplating the possibility of Yanda and Onjatan getting into a tug of war over the lit up pebble...

The eels continue to nip pointlessly at Onjatan.
eel dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Meanwhile, Araga gets out of the eels' territory by burrowing beneath the door and looking around. Onjatan, do you have a way of communicating with Araga at range? Otherwise you'll have to wait until she returns to get her report. If she returns.

Shiva climbs across the pit.
eel dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Shiva Fort: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26 +4 vs. bardic performance, language-dependent, and sonic
I've moved you on the map but note that there's no place to stand at the moment so you are clinging to the walls of the pit (relatively easy Climb check); hopefully the Bebilith doesn't have a mate who comes to investigate what is happening...

Mykel is still on the far side, contemplating whether to drink his potion of fly You really probably don't need to unless your Climb skill is *really* bad.

Onjatan easily surrenders the flaming-hot rock. He can always make another.
Yes, the rock specifically "produces heat like a normal flame". Have fun holding that... and you might not want to stash it with your bombs.

Instead, he checks the door for traps while keeping track of Araga's emotional state.

This irregular hexagonal chamber has a sloping floor that rises from its lower northern entrance (where you have entered) to its higher southern landing. The floor is carved with a pattern of shallow grooves that fan out to snake across the sloping portion of the floor. Two pillars stand about 20 feet from the northern door. At the top of the sloping chamber, just past the two pillars, is a small landing. In the western wall of this landing stands a bronze door inscribed with runes of warding and protection. Lead and wax seals lie broken on the floor before the door.

Map updated. Please position yourselves on the map.

Mykel easily sees that the landing (at the other end of the room) is the highest area of the room. That is also where the greatest concentration of flaming oil is at present, though it is flowing downwards towards the pathfinders!

Onjatan holds out one arm, then gestures upwards. A thin barrier of rocky earth raises itself across one side of the slope.

Use kinetic cover to block or divert oil from the east side of the room. Provides total cover.

Araga climbs the miniature rope ladders to again perch on Onjatan's pack. From her new, elevated position she examines the construction of the trenches and architecture. Was there a trick to it somewhere?

Onjatan creates a barrier in one portion of the room while Araga studies the engineering of the chamber.

I'l let you know what results, if any, of these actions - nothing is immediately discernable - once I've heard from Yanda and Shiva about what they want to do, if anything. (Yanda and Shiva, if you don't have anything you want to do just yet, let me know that). We aren't exactly in initiative but I am tracking results round by round.

Round 2

As the flaming oil flows down through the many channels, it doesn't take long before the entire room is filled with fire and smoke, which easily goes around Onjatan's barrier and which rises up even to where Shiva is standing on her note.

fire dmg: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 6, 2) = 13
The fire nearly, but not quite, burns right through Onjatan's barrier.

Reflex Saves for half dmg:

Yanda Reflex: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21 +6 vs. poisons, +1 vs. acid and cold, greater pentacle talisman (2nd save)
Shiva Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 +4 vs. bardic performance, language-dependent, and sonic
Onjatan Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Araga Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Jeydahvu Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 +2 saves vs. haunts, acid, air, cold, earth, fire, electricity, or water; +1 insight bonus to saves during surprise round; +2 bonus on saving throws vs spells that you or an ally cast
Mykel Reflex: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28

Yanda evades the worst of the firestorm and in any case she is protected by her potion.

Shiva is unable to dodge the flames Full dmg, less 5 fire resistance

Onjatan avoids the worst but Araga takes the full force of the firestorm.

Mykel also nimbly avoids some of the fire.

Heavy smoke also fills the room, threatening the pathfinders' ability to breathe.

Fort Saves:

Yanda Fort: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18 +6 vs. poisons, +1 vs. acid and cold, lesser talisman of freedom, greater pentacle talisman (2nd save)
Shiva Fort: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 +4 vs. bardic performance, language-dependent, and sonic

Mykel fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 +1 disease/poison

Yanda, Onjatan, and Mykel are all able to resist the smoke, at least for now, but both Shiva and Araga begin to cough and choke. Not able to act this round and also take...
nonlethal dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 4

The bold may act!

Yanda eats an air crystal and 'steps' towards the source of the fire. She won't be breathing for a while.

The haste has worn off, right?

"I... think there's oil pipes feeding this" Araga says loudly. "Look up above for the source."

With that, she drops from Onjatan's shoulder and through the floor.

Onjatan holds his breath as well as he can, and makes his way uphill.

Straight up the middle. With haste, have 40' speed (including climb speed if that helps), and current map position is at 30'. Not sure how much the slope slows us down, but might have a standard action left up here

Yanda eats an air crystal.

Mykel retrieves his air bladder.

Onjatan and Araga explore the flaming chamber. Onjatan still has a standard action available

Shiva coughs and retches.

So we are waiting for Onjatan to take his standard action?

Is there any visible reason we could not go through the far door? Is the pool of oil going down as it flows into the room, or is it being fed even as it is emptying? Is it flowing out the door into the pit area?

No one has tried the far door yet. There doesn't appear to be any diminishment in the oil supply that you have noticed. So far. It isn't flowing out the door into the pit area yet but it looks like that is likely to occur very soon.

According to Araga, there should be something up here. No visible mechanism, and he didn't notice any access hatches. The southern door had what seemed to be broken seals around it, so that was something one of the magic types should look at before opening.

If there was no access hatch, perhaps he could make one?

Onjatan forms a stone pickaxe out of nothing and swings it at what seems like a good location (just above where the oil is flowing out)

Damage: 4d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 5, 5, 2) + 9 = 24

Onjatan starts hacking at the floor and knocks solid gash in it.

The burning oil continues to flow through the room, now even beginning to flow under the northern door that the group entered through. How the eels feel about this is at present unknown to the pathfinders. The fire consumes what remains of Onjatan's kinetic barrier.

fire dmg: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 3, 1) = 10

Reflex Saves for half; catch on fire on a failure:

Yanda Reflex: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37 +6 vs. poisons, +1 vs. acid and cold, greater pentacle talisman (2nd save)

Mykel Reflex: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29

Yanda and Shiva are both untouched by the fire. Mykel avoids the worst of it but both Onjatan and Araga catch fire! No dmg to Yanda and Shiva; half dmg to Mykel; Araga: half dmg (Improved Evasion) and catch fire; Onjatan: full dmg and catch fire.

Fort Saves:

Yanda Fort: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12 +6 vs. poisons, +1 vs. acid and cold, lesser talisman of freedom, greater pentacle talisman (2nd save)

Mykel fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 +1 disease/poison

Yanda's air crystal saves her from an unpleasant bout of coughing and the rest of the group are able to avoid the worst of the smoke for the moment.

Pathfinders are up! The bold may act!

Araga is burrowing, somewhere under the flow of oil. Does she still need to attempt saves vs the fire? Also, the tracker still has her down for nonlethal damage from the smoke that she didn't breathe
